This year’s MVP race will be one of the closest in recent memory. Steph Curry is the likely favorite because his team is first in the West, but you could make an equally compelling case for Westbrook and Harden.
Anthony Davis agrees with that (Harden in particular), as he stated on the The Dan Patrick Show that he would give the MVP to James Harden if it were up to him.
“It’s tough. A lot of guys are playing out of their mind. James Harden, Russ (Westbrook), Steph (Curry), LeBron (James)…
“(Harden is) out of his mind. He’s definitely playing out of his mind. We talk about this on my team every day. It’s like every day. I think with him not having Dwight [Howard] for as much as he did, and he still competed and is still winning games for them, it’s unreal.
